A bill for an act relating to English learners, including by modifying provisions related to open enrollment and the payment of costs incurred in transporting English learners to nonpublic schools, and including applicability provisions.(Formerly HSB 557.)

This bill changes how schools fund and handle English learners. It allows extra state funding for English learners to cover transportation costs, including to nonpublic schools. Additionally, if an English learner applies for open enrollment to another school district, the request will only be approved if the new district has appropriate programs and space for the student. The bill also clarifies how the student's home district will pay the receiving district for the costs associated with educating the English learner.
